Reading Notes: Epified, Part F

Epified: Mahabharata

Pandavas leaving for their exile. Source: Wikimedia.


Continuing from Part E, this part of videos talks about the outcome and aftermath of the dice game. The Pandavas go on their exile and they meet Krishna who wants them to fight the Kauravas. Arjuna receives Shiva's weapon and 

The disrobing of Draupadi was the beginning of their long period of hatred for Duryodhana and the Kauravas. The Kauravas had been so greedy and evil that they called the Pandavas back for another round of dice and mainly to humiliate them again. I think if I were to write a story, I would write about the Pandavas and their emotions of having lost everything and being exiled. I specifically liked the part in the video about them being exiled where they are leaving and the people of Hastinapur are trying to stop them from leaving or are following the Pandavas into their exile. I think it would be something different to write a story from the point-of-view from one of the people in their kingdom.
